Now Google Home can answer 3 questions at once
What's the story
It was announced at the Google I/O 2018 annual developer conference last month that the Google Assistant will soon be able to handle multiple actions. The update is now going live for Google Home smart home assistants. It can perform three actions simultaneously in a single voice command. The feature, called "Multiple Actions," is currently being rolled out across the US.
Details
Combine three requests in one voice command
The new feature essentially allows you to stack commands by only saying "OK Google" or "Hey Google" once. The Google Assistant has also become more natural to talk to, so instead of saying "Hey Google, what's the weather in Delhi and what's the weather in Mumbai," you can conversationally ask, "OK Google, what's the weather in Delhi and Mumbai?"
Twitter Post
The feature will become available in these locations
We appreciate the feedback. This feature is supported in the US, UK, Canada and Australia using the English language.

Things to Note
Set alarm, switch off light, play music in one go
In fact, eventually, you won't even have to say the wakeword all the time before talking to your Google Home. Just make sure that you separate different voice queries with the word "and" in between them. Further, it is important that each command be wholesome on its own and doesn't require a follow-up question from the Google Assistant.
Information
The feature currently works with US English only
While the feature currently works with US English only, triple commands will be made compatible with other languages in the future as well, Google said.
